Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of analytical chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for simultaneously detecting 5 cannabinol compounds by using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).
Background
The main effective components of Cannabis are cannabinol, including tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabidiol (CBD),△9The 5 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) contents are more, and the application is most extensive.
According to the literature report, cannabidiol is a cannabis extract with the widest application prospect at present, is faint yellow resin or crystal, and has obvious medical treatment effects on various diseases such as epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis and the like.△9Tetrahydrocannabinol has the strongest effect on the central nerve after being sucked or orally taken, and can be interconverted with cannabinol and cannabidiol, thus requiring strict control. Due to the inclusion of hemp△9Tetrahydrocannabinol, once regulated strictly worldwide. Thus tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabidiol (CBD),△9The detection of the five substances tetrahydrocannabinol contributes to the development of basic studies for the evaluation of cannabis.
In 2018, day 25 and 6, the U.S. FDA approved for the first time the drug Epidiolex consisting of active ingredients extracted from cannabis species for the treatment of rare epilepsy in children over two years of age. The worldwide legal hemp market has a value of $ 143 billion in 2016. With the 10 th and 17 th 2018, Canada announced that hemp is legalized, the hemp market rapidly grows, and a large amount of hemp-added food is produced at the same time. From 2019, 10 and 17, canada announced that hemp is allowed to be added into leisure food, and hemp biscuits, hemp beverages and hemp snacks are sold in various channels, and people can easily and conveniently contact the hemp food in physical stores, online stores, supermarkets and even restaurants. The global sales of cannabis is expected to reach $ 635 billion by 2024. At present, China customs discovers that hemp smuggled from Canada is added into chocolate, but the content is low, and a corresponding detection method is lacked, so that law enforcement difficulty is caused. Therefore, the development of a corresponding detection method is urgently needed to deal with the difficulty of import law enforcement.

Results and analysis
1) Liquid chromatography condition optimization
In order to separate the five cannabinol species to be tested from the matrix components in the cannabis oil as much as possible, the mobile phase gradient procedure was first optimized. Taking methanol extract of Shanxi cannabis oil as a background solution, adding 5 microgram/mL mixed standard substance into the methanol extract, and performing chromatographic separation on the background solution and the added standard solution respectively by adopting two different mobile phase gradient programs, wherein the two mobile phase gradient programs are respectively as follows: (1)0-20min, 80% B-90% B; 20-22min, 90% B; 22-24min, 90% B-80% B; 24-30min, 80% B. (2)0-20min, 70% B-90% B; 20-22min, 90% B; 22-24min, 90% B-70% B; 24-30min, 70% B. The separation results are shown in FIG. 2, and the peak assignment was confirmed by the single-standard method. The results show that CBD is not separated from the cannabis oil matrix components and that THC and THCA are poorly separated under the gradient program (1) (fig. 2A). By reducing the composition of the initial organic phase, under the gradient program (2), the separation condition of each peak in the cannabis oil is better, and the impurity peak in the matrix and the chromatographic peaks of the five cannabinol substances to be detected are not mutually covered (fig. 2B), so the subsequent experiments are all optimized and verified by adopting the gradient program 2.
To summarize: as can be seen from the comparison between fig. 2A and fig. 2B, by adjusting the ratio of the mobile phase and changing the elution conditions, the effect of separating the impurity peak from the analyte chromatographic peak in the matrix can be achieved, and the possibility of interference of the impurity peak is reduced, so that the step of purifying the extract is omitted, and the operation is simple and convenient, and the time consumption is short.
2) Extraction solvent optimization
According to the physicochemical properties of 5 cannabinols, under the same instrument and experimental conditions, (1) 100% methanol was selected in the experiment; (2) methanol: 80 parts of isopropanol: 20; (3) methanol: isopropanol 50: 50, taking the same cannabis oil sample, adding 5 microgram/mL mixed standard substance, extracting with the above 3 solvents respectively by adopting a standard stock solution extraction mode, and measuring the recovery rate of the added standard, wherein the results are shown in the following table 2. As can be seen from the table, the recovery of the sample after addition of isopropanol can be controlled between 70% and 100%, where the ratio of methanol: 80 parts of isopropanol: 20, the extraction is carried out, the result has better stability, and the RSD can be controlled to be less than 5 percent.

3) Purification of extract
Because the hemp oil matrix contains a large amount of fatty acid, in order to reduce the influence of the matrix on the object to be measured and improve the sensitivity of the method, a sample matrix purification method is generally adopted to remove impurities in the sample matrix as much as possible on the premise of retaining the object to be measured.
The filtration purification method (m-PFC) is a method for purifying interfering substances in a matrix, which has been developed based on the QuEChERS method. The method comprises the steps of filling a filler containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes, N-propyl ethylenediamine (PSA), C18 and anhydrous magnesium sulfate into an injector, and enabling an extracting solution to pass through the filler in an extraction or pushing mode when the filler is used, so that the filler is enabled to act or adsorb with interference substances such as pigments, lipids, partial saccharides, sterols, tea polyphenols, organic acids, alkaloids and the like in a matrix, and the interference substances are not reacted with a target substance, and the purification of the matrix is completed. Compared with the traditional method, the method does not need to weigh the adsorbent, greatly shortens the purification time, can be used together with LC-MS, IMS, Raman and the like on line or off line, and can greatly improve the pretreatment speed and efficiency.
The influence of the m-PFC sample purification mode on the detection method is examined, the method respectively uses Shanxi hemp seed oil methanol extracts added with mixed standard substances of 1 mu g/mL and 5 mu g/mL as samples, selects an m-PFC rapid purification column as a purification column, purifies the samples by adopting the sample pretreatment purification method, and performs HPLC detection under the chromatographic conditions in the sample pretreatment, and the result is shown in figure 3. Wherein, FIG. 3A is the mixed standard with the standard of 1. mu.g/mL, and FIG. 3B is the mixed standard with the standard of 5. mu.g/mL.
To summarize: as can be seen from fig. 3, the m-PFC purification column selected in the experiment has a poor purification effect, not only is new impurities introduced, but also the THCA component to be detected is severely adsorbed, so that the THCA is not detected, and therefore, the purification column is not used for pretreatment in subsequent experiments. In the subsequent research, the physical and chemical properties of cannabinol can be referred to, the purification effects of various purification columns are compared, on the basis of not introducing impurities, various factors are combined, and the purification column capable of well absorbing other substances except the detected components is selected, so that the influence of the matrix effect on the detection result is reduced.
4) Standard curve, quantitative limit, detection limit
The series of 5 cannabinol mixed standard solutions were tested by drawing a standard curve regression equation from ichrom5100works, and the linear range, correlation coefficient, LOD and LOQ are shown in table 3 below.

To summarize: as can be seen from the data in the table, the method has better linear relation in the range of 0.5-50 mu g/mL and the correlation coefficient r2Are all made of>0.998. The detection limit (LOD, S/N is 3) of 5 cannabinoids is 0.10-0.25 mu g/g, and the quantification limit (LOQ, S/N is 10) is 0.33-0.83 mu g/g.
5) Precision degree

Figure BDA0002931532990000162
To summarize: as can be seen from the upper standard data, the RSD of 6 repeated experiments is between 1.9% and 3.2%, which indicates that the method has good repeatability.
7) Recovery rate of added standard
Accurately transferring a certain amount of mixed standard solution, adding the mixed standard solution into a sample, using a mixed solvent (methanol: isopropanol: 80:20, v/v) to perform constant volume preparation to prepare low, medium and high standard samples with concentration levels of 0.5 mu g/mL, 1 mu g/mL and 5 mu g/mL, using the experimental method to perform measurement, and calculating the recovery rate, wherein the results are shown in Table 6.
TABLE 6 results of recovery test with addition of standard
Figure BDA0002931532990000163
Figure BDA0002931532990000171
To summarize: as can be seen from the data in the table, the recovery rate of 5 cannabinols is 77.1-103.3%, and the relative standard deviation RSD is less than or equal to 4.7%, which shows that the method has good recovery rate and accurate and reliable results.
8) Determination of actual samples
The analytical test is carried out on the cannabis oil in 5 different producing areas of Shanxi, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang and Gansu according to the experimental formula, and the results are shown in Table 7.
TABLE 7 cannabinol content in cannabis sativa oil for different production areas
Figure BDA0002931532990000172
To summarize: the analysis result of a practical sample shows that 5 cannabinols in the cannabis oil of 4 production places such as Shaanxi, Guangxi, Heilongjiang, Gansu and the like are detected except that the Shanxi cannabis oil does not contain CBDA and THCA, and the content of addictive THC is more than 3.2 mug/g, wherein the THC content in the Shaanxi cannabis oil is even as high as 11.9 mug/g, which indicates that the commercially available cannabis oil has different degrees of cannabinol substance pollution and certain food safety risk.
